Kansas Leads!

All the world knows, for the Kansas
brethren have announced it with BOOM
ing cannon and screaming rooster and
the Woman's journal with dove and1
olive branch, that the Kansas legisla-
ture has given to women the exercise
of the municipal ballot. 1t was no
grudging gift, but bestowed in the SEN
ate by a vote Of % to II, and in the
house by 81 to %. (The vote in the
house has been variously reported so.
81, 92) The bill was signed by the gov
ernor Feb. Is. Over thirty thousand
names of petitioners were sent in for
the bill and Mrs. Laura Jones stayed at
the capital during tae whole session
and was ably assisted by many friends.
The eleven National Conventions in
| October, the annual meeting OF the
| American the state annual meeting.
the months OF lecturing by Mrs Saxon
and Mrs. Cougar have created a great
popular pressure behind the legislators
and interested the press, which has
been almost unanimous in urging the
! passage Of the bill. Rat while these
agencies have their tue credit, and the
social and lnborious work OF the a,Xil-
!iatv societies is rightly appreciated,
